DANCE: Subcircle: Only Sleeping

Part of Blindspot, presented by Bowerbird and Ladybird.

Only Sleeping is a dance and design rabbit hole with unseen possibilities revealed at every moment. A dialogue between video and live performer, a silent film faces a live dancer with an original score that tests the boundary of imagination, loneliness and detachment. Subcircle’s work, in collaboration with Geoff Sobelle, of rainpan 43, and with music by Michael Kiley asks the audience to come with them on an adventure yet unknown. The goal remainsto test people’s ideas of where they see dance and theatre, how, and most importantly, why.

Thirdbird was the collaborative wing of the shared endeavors of Anna Drozdowski (proprietor of Ladybird) and Dustin Hurt (founder of Bowerbird). First hatched for the Blindspot festival in 2011, it served as a way to share dance, music and performance art.
